Basic Value Structure:
Ink Hatching:
Contour Hatching:
Cross-Hatching:
Stippling:
Scumbling (aka Scribbling):
Cross Hatching/Hatching Still-Life Examples:
Stippling Still-Life Example:
Value Scales:
Make 4 Value Scales going from value 1 (very light, almost white) to value 10 (very dark, almost black) using 4 Mark Making techniques:
1. Hatching
2. Cross Hatching
3. Stippling
4. Marker
Still Life:
Divide your 11″ x 14″ Bristol paper into 4 sections. Each section will demonstrate a different mark-making technique for all of the value.
Section (1): Cross-Hatching & Contour Hatching.
Section (2): Stippling.
Section (3): Combo of Cross-Hatching & Stippling.
Section (4): Marker.
Draw 3 or more compositional thumbnails of the still-life. Draw a full composition across the page first, and then divide the composition itself into the four different mark-making sections– divide evenly, or creatively in a way that aids the overall composition. Draw in your compositions first in contour line. The cross-hatching and stippling can be done in graphite, pen, or marker, and you can vary the tool size to help vary the density of the value. Build up the layers of cross-hatching and stippling, making them denser and closer together for the dark areas, more spread out or lighter marks for the lighter areas. Map out where the highlights are and keep those the white of the paper, and build your layers through the middle gray to the dark. For cross-hatching, rotate the layers to help build density. When using the grayscale Markers for value, work from the lightest to the darkest value. Make the white of the paper the brightest highlights, and then fill in the next lightest value, and work so forth all the way to the darkest. When filling in a large area of value with the markers, fill in the value in a circular pattern with the marker to make it fill in more smoothly– straight lines create streaking that doesn’t blend easily.
Homework: Draw a composition on 11″ x 14″ Bristol paper from direct observation of a still life and use a combination of cross-hatching, stippling, and markers for all of the value. As always, make the composition strong graphically, so it can be seen from across the room, and make sure to crop.
